[Firebird-odbc-devel] SQLGetDescRecord usage

[Jojakim]

Dear all,
Apparently, my first post on this subject didn't arrive in the list. So I try
again.

I assumed, that SQLGetDescXXX functions are OBBC 3 replacements of i.e.
SQLDescribeParam. Is this right, or, in ODBC 3 SQLDescribeParam is the right
way to get parameter information on a prepared statement?

I tried to prepare "insert into x values (?,?,?)" and SQLGetDescRecord for an
APD did return an error message (sqlstate=HY021, native=0, [ODBC Firebird
Driver]Inconsistent descriptor information), and for an IPD did return
unreasonable data. Is this correct behavior?

I update myself :-)

MS states in the docu:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/ms710188(v=vs.85).aspx

SQLDescribeParam returns the description of a parameter marker associated
with a prepared SQL statement. This information is also available in the
fields of the IPD.

That means, that the driver's SQLGetDescXXX function is buggy, at least for
the IPD case.
